PNG Article (see issue13) Update

Apparently Netscape has finally committed to supporting PNG in
Navigator and actually made public statements to that effect at
its Internet Developers' Conference last October, although there's
no indication of it anywhere on their web site. The only question
is when: Navigator 4.0 has a fixed release date, and PNG support
may not be ready by then.

Linux Browser Project - A New WWW Browser for Linux

Date: Tue, 14 Jan 1997 06:34:56 GMT
Announcing the Linux Browser Project -- a group of developers developing a world
wide web browser for Linux and other platforms.
The goal of this project is to
develop a web browser which consists of a modular program architecture
based around a small, fast kernel which would load necessary modules on
demand.

The project is in its early stages, and we are announcing the project at
the moment to make ourselves known to the rest of the Linux community.
If
anyone would be interested in helping us out in any way, please feel
free
to join the mailing lists or visit the web site and let us know that you
are willing to help.
For additional information:

PHT Releases Red Hat 4.0

It features a modular 2.0.18 kernel, better networking, more packages,
and, of course, the floppy-less install. The second CD contains the
entire contrib/ directory from ftp.redhat.com (the Live Filesystem was
scrapped in order to put the contrib/ directory on, which we felt would
be more useful for more people).

The 2 CD set
is only $19.95 plus s/h. If you want more details on the product, visit
http://www.pht.com/linux.

PHT Releases MkLinux DR2

MkLinux DR2 is the latest pre-release version of MkLinux, and it is MUCH MUCH
better than DR1 - more stable, more hardware support, and a much
smoother installation. It was uncompressed from the FTP distribution
and burned as a Macintosh HFS format CD - you don't need to decompress
the files onto your hard drive, you can just put in the CD and GO.

It's only $19.95 plus s/h. See http://www.pht.com for ordering
information, or email sales@pht.com.
